Default Apollo 8 crew plans to reminisce

(United Press International) writes:


WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Nearly 40 years after the U.S.
space agency sent Apollo 8 astronauts to the moon, those adventurers
are planning a public reminiscence.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration says the
Apollo 8 crew members will take part in a special television program
produced in cooperation with the Newseum in Washington. The 1:30
p.m. EST Thursday program will feature Apollo 8 crew members Frank
Borman, James Lovell and William Anders. It will be broadcast live
from the Newseum on NASA Television and
www.nasa.gov.
The event is part of the Newseum's commemoration of NASA's
50th anniversary and will be open to visitors on a first-come,
first-served basis.


It will be a long line!


During the 60-minute program, NASA said Borman, Lovell and
Anders will discuss their epic December 1968 lunar orbital mission
and how the success of Apollo 8 contributed to the overall
moon-landing effort that culminated just six months later with
Apollo 11. The crew also will discuss the years following Apollo and
the future of space exploration.
The program will be moderated by Nick Clooney, the Newseum's
journalist in residence.

the Internet is available at http://www.nasa.gov/ntv.
